Meghan Markle and Ellen DeGeneres have been friends for a number of years, and the pair are so close that the Duchess of Sussex even texts her pal with recommendations for her TV show.
WATCH: Meghan Markle texted Ellen about a ‘great’ viral dance duo
Last week, Ellen revealed to viewers that she invited a pair of dancers onto her chat show after Meghan texted her about how ‘great’ they were.
Videos of dance instructor Jeny Bonsenge and her pupil Anae, 9, from Brussels, went viral last month, as the pair showed off their incredible moves.
The duo’s talents didn’t go unnoticed by the Duchess, who texted her pal Ellen to get them on the chat show.
Ellen delighted the duo when she told them: “Do you know how I found the two of you?”
“Meghan Markle sent me this video, she texted me and said what do you think of this, how great is this girl?” she said.
The sweet dancers were thrilled to appear on the show, and both couldn’t believe they’d been recommended by Meghan.
Upon seeing their reaction, Ellen went on: ‘I know, I said “I can’t wait for everybody to see how amazing this is”.’
The Duchess of Sussex has spoken before of how she first met Ellen and her wife Portia de Rossi when they were adopting their first pet dog together.
Speaking in Best Health, the Duchess explained how it was Ellen who convinced her to adopt her beloved pet dog, Bogart.
“Now, I don’t know her, but Ellen goes ‘Is that your dog?’ And I said, ‘No,’ and she’s like, ‘You have to take that dog.’ And I said, ‘Well, I’m deciding.’ And she’s like, ‘Rescue the dog!’” Meghan told the magazine.
“It’s sort of like if Oprah tells you to do something. I’m sitting there holding him and she’s like ‘Have you thought of a name for him yet?’ And I said, ‘Well, I think I’d name him Bogart,’ and she’s like ‘You’re taking the dog home.’”
